I didn't take the afternoon off to make friends with a bracket. I did it to mount a tranny.

Jesus, all that just to do the trans mount? What's even the point of caging the ECU? They thought that would prevent tuning?

Just don't toss on some Birkenstocks. Definitely not shop appropriate footwear.

For anyone reading this in future;

The offical (and imo easier) way to remove the bolts is to cut a slot into them with dremel and use heat gun to burn locktite off. I did it that way and it was super easy, just came out with a flat head screwdriver.

I’ve never seen one with a cage personally, & have worked on dozens of US spec Mk7 & 7.5 cars

it appears I've no cage, just the plastic clip frame.
